Sheriff Johns Greatest Trial.

The grea est trial that Sheriff John
ever had 10 undergo was when young
man was convicted of murjer and SEN
tence to death. 1t looked very much
like case OF seIf-defense, and John took
that view OF it.
After cour. adjourned he trie to ease
his mind by thrashins three OF the j.:rors.

muuily was no. alarmingly disturbed.
As the day set for The g e 'tt II APP
preached, John grew desperate Il.
gloomy. He spent every aftern. on sit
ting in the jail talking with lis prisoner,
who at thai time was the only inmate
The jail stood in lOi ell pace an at
that season of the year, mid-suumer,
was not visible from any house, on ac
count of the foliage of Intervening trees.
AS the two sat there With the door
wide open, the prisoner frequently re-
marked that it would be easy TO make a
successful break tor liberty.
You could do it powerful easy" as
sentei Sheriff John. ''You could get

A QUEER LITTLE RAILROAD.

What an Association of Illinois Farmers
Have Done To Garry Their Freight and
There is little narrow gauge railroa!
in central illinois which is rather anus
ing.
1t runs through a rich farming coun-
try and is owned and managed by
wealthy formers The conductors, ell
gineeGs. and bralemen are farmers sons,
who have rown weary of raising cattle
and corn, and who have t ken to rail
roa ing as RI ef.
TIE var OIL stations along the line of
this little railroad are of no consequence
whatever, except to their 81. re or more
of inhal itants and to the farmers of the
neighborhood.
train starts from each end of thu
road every morning after breakfast, runs
to the opposite end of the road by din
ner time, returns again for tea, and Ties
up for the night
AS there is no telegraph line conn cted
with t road, nobody at any OF the sta
lions knows when train is conf 6 until
it arrives in sight. AS the rails are laid
on ties placed on the fiat prair.e, and as
no grade exists from one end of the road
to the other, the tall grass has an awk-
ward habit OF getting under re wheels
and stopping the train. Not inirequent-
ly. also. the light rails sprea apart and
bling along on the virgin prairie.
Whenever little accident Of this kind
occurs, the engineer, conductor, brake
men and passengers jump to the ground
and lift t; cars into placA ain.
The passengers ride in a car reserved
for them in the rear of a long inc of
freight cars. Half Of this car is parti-
toned fl in order that it may also servo
for carrying mail bags, express matter,
and aggage.
Not mfr, quently passengers walk into
village ahead 1.-THE train and announce
that the cars will follow them in an
hour or two, providing they can be kept
on the track long enough.
Sometimes a locomotive gets stalled
on some one of the seve! al gentle hills
along the line. The trainmen thereupon
quietly wait until the other engine ap-
pears. Then the two engines draw the
train up the hill.
Notwith~ landing the oddities which
exist in the management Of this little
railroad, it hauls large quantities Of
freight, and is making money for its

Found in the His

and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that ma
ture has remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found---
the rest are as yet unknown
Many were discovered by acct
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is COM
paratively mem disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. It is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and Of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-'If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
tiers which remain after the life
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys-
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract {Se;zel's
Syrup in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy IN hundreds Of cases
which had been pronounced in
curable-with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed
Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex-
haustion is peculiarly Ameri-
can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it
both sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
so many insane asylums filled
to overlooking, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache; dull pain at the base
of the brain; bad breath nau-
ssous quotations; the rising
of sour and pungent fluids to
the throat; a sense OF Cypress
ion and faintness at the pit of
the stomach; fatulence; wake
fulness and loss of sleep; dis
gust with food even when
weak from the need oft; sticky
or Shiny matter on the teeth or

ing in the morning; furred and
coated tongue; dull eyes; cold
hands and feet; constipation ;
